LITITZ, Pa. -

Representatives from Weis Market will make their case for a liquor license Tuesday in front of borough council and the public in Lititz.

This is not something that other Susquehanna Valley supermarkets had to do to sell beer. This case is different because the liquor license that Weis wants is being sold from another township. The council does have the opportunity to deny it.

News 8 talked with shoppers inside Weis and many said it would be more convenient but some said the convenience could have a price.

“It’ll be nice if you come to the store, you would be able to pick it up with food. Sometimes the distributors close before you can get to them,” said David Minnis, a Lititz resident.

“I don’t think it’s a good influence on kids. Selling it in the grocery market almost influences them,” said Shaun Stockbauer, a Lititz resident.

The vote will happen at 7 p.m. Tuesday and residents will have an opportunity to comment.
